I would like to remove the red header.

Minimum working example

\moderncvstyle{banking}
\moderncvcolor{red}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[scale=0.75]{geometry}

\name{Philipp}{Palim}

\begin{document}
    \recipient{Company Recruitment team}{Company, Inc.\\123 somestreet\\some city}
    \date{January 01, 1984}
    \opening{Dear Sir or Madam,}
    \closing{Yours faithfully,}
    \enclosure[Attached]{curriculum vit\ae{}}          % use an optional argument to use a string other than "Enclosure", or redefine \enclname
    \makelettertitle

Background: This is probably a super easy question, but I have been trying for a while. Removing the name or using \name{~}{~} removes the header, but also removes the name at the very end. Thanks!

Answer 1

The fastest way is probably to use \name{}{} at the beginning (before \makelettertitle) and then \name{Phillip}{Palim} before \makeletterclosing, like so:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}       
\moderncvstyle{banking}
\moderncvcolor{red}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[scale=0.75]{geometry}

\name{}{} % <---------------

    \enclosure[Attached]{curriculum vit\ae{}}          % use an optional argument to use a string other than "Enclosure", or redefine \enclname
